+45. Command substitutions now remove the caller's trap strings when trap is
+    run to set a new trap in the subshell.  Previous to bash-4.2, the old
+    trap strings persisted even though the actual signal handlers were reset.

+46. When in Posix mode, a single quote is not treated specially in a
+    double-quoted ${...} expansion, unless the expansion operator is
+    # or % or the new `//', `^', or `,' expansions.  In particular, it
+    does not define a new quoting context.  This is from Posix interpretation
